Real Madrid welcome Valencia to the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday evening with Carlo Ancelotti's men aiming to get back to winning ways in La Liga.
Los Blancos suffered their first league defeat in three months last weekend, going down 1-0 at Getafe, while Wednesday night saw them made to work extremely hard before defeating third tier Alcoyano in the Copa del Rey.
Valencia, meanwhile, also saw an impressive unbeaten run come to an end last weekend as Jose Bordalas' side lost 2-1 at home to Espanyol their first reverse since October 27.
Madrid are closing in on 12 months unbeaten at home in La Liga, with their last 19 league matches in front of their own fans bringing 13 wins and six draws.
The hosts can be backed at 4/11 (1.36) with bet365 to claim three points, while the draw is on offer at 4/1 (5.00).
Valencia have won just three of their last 19 games on the road, although they have enjoyed victories in each of their last two games away from Mestalla. Los Che are priced at 15/2 (8.50) to record a third consecutive triumph away from home.
Karim Benzema was given the night off in the midweek Copa del Rey win and will return to the starting XI this weekend.
The Frenchman has opened the scoring on eight occasions this season and can be backed at 13/5 (3.60) to do so once more.
Vinicius Junior has missed the last couple of games but could return this weekend and is offered at 11/2 (6.50).
Carlos Soler is Valencia's top scorer this term and is offered at 18/1 (19.00) while former Real Madrid forward Hugo Duro is available at 9/1 (10.00) to break the deadlock against his old side.
Los Che will head to the Spanish capital determined to prove stubborn opponents and Jose Bordalas' side will know that Real Madrid have struggled to break down resolutely defensive sides.
Valencia are more than capable of playing defensively, but they are also a highly aggressive side, who commit the most fouls per game and also receive by far the most yellow cards in the division.
Another robust performance from Bordalas' team in the Bernabeu looks likely as they attempt to limit the league leaders and backing a match with plenty of yellow cards for the visitors makes plenty of sense.
Valencia can be backed at evens (2.00) to receive over 3.5 cards and this seems like a shrewd option for Saturday night's clash.
